Associated British Ports (ABP) has appointed Mace, a construction and consultancy company, for many major projects.
The construction firm has been appointed by ABP via its Group Professional Services Framework.
It will offer various services, including project management, cost and commercial advisory, project support and site supervision.
The consultancy unit of Mace secured work on several professional services contracts for schemes across ABP, including at the ports of Southampton, Lowestoft, Immingham, and Plymouth, besides an additional project in Newport in Wales.
For the Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro (roll-on roll-off) terminal project in North East Lincolnshire that involves the construction of a new Ro-Ro facility on the eastern side of the port, Mace will offer contract administration, cost management and scheduling services.
